Was always a big Meatloaf fan. In his prime, he was a Tasmanian Devil on stage. Gave 110% at every show. Almost killed him at one time since he was hardly the picture of health.
The Bat out of Hell 2 tour was one of the best shows I've ever attended.
I have to wonder, however, if he would have ever had a career if he had not met and teamed up with Jim Steinman. The duo made some amazing music, but when he recorded non-Steinman songs it just wasn't the same IMO.
What would Meatloaf have been without Steinman? Probably about the same as Garfunkel would have been without Paul Simon.
RIP Big Man....... Eddie has finally returned to the big deep freezer waiting for us all.
